Academic Accommodation Policy for Students with Disabilities
Carleton University is committed to providing access
to the educational experience and accommodation to the point of undue
hardship in order to promote academic accessibility for individuals
with identified and duly assessed disabilities. The University
encourages applications from students with those disabilities within
the meaning of the Ontario Human Rights Code, including visual,
hearing, communication and mobility impairments and learning and other
non-visible disabilities.
The University affirms its commitment to the
physical accessibility of the Carleton campus, and to the assessment of
academic accommodation for students with disabilities in order to
maintain its leadership among the province's educational institutions
in implementing accessibility.
The Paul Menton Centre for Students with
Disabilities (PMC) is the designated unit at the University for
assisting the Carleton community in integrating persons with
disabilities into all aspects of Carleton's academic and community
life. The PMC provides assessment of academic accommodation, advises
students on strategies to open a dialogue with instructors and acts as
consultant, facilitator, coordinator and advocate in this area for all
members of the University community.
The University promotes efforts to accommodate
students with disabilities so that they can meet the learning
objectives of courses they are taking and be fairly evaluated in their
performance.

associated procedures, please consult with the Paul Menton Centre. The
